Inventor Inklings

What do you do with an idea?
Kids are natural inventors and problem solvers. As they enter elementary school, nearly every thing they see presents a new challenge and opportunity for creative thinking. Inventor Inklings starts them on this journey by coupling this inquisitive tendency with lessons in communication, collaboration, organization, and the engineering design process.

Using the overarching question of “What to do with an idea?” students begin to explore biomimicry, communication, and the engineering design process as they ask themselves: 

"How can we use science and engineering to help our community?"
